Negative Results

Well today is day ten after ovulation. I have waited anxiously to see if we were with child again. But I got up at 7:30 and took the test and it was negative. I am upset, but I am trying to be understanding. It's hard to think sometimes that Gods timing is perfect, but I realize this now after the experience I had with the boys. Gods timing is perfect and we are staying hopeful. We are praying to be blessed with that little girl.

I should start my period on Wednesday, so I will test again next Saturday if I have not started by then.

Gods timing is Perfect....

Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding. In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him, and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6

Progesterone test results

Well on Wednesday I met Lewis at the doctors office with 4 hungry kids in my truck. I made the apt for 12:15 to where I could have a movie on for the kids and then he meet me up there for the test. It went really well. I packed a big lunch for us and we found a shady breezy place to eat. I brought a chair for Daddy to sit in and I sat in the back and we all just ate. YUM YUM.

I got the results back today. I went from an 11.7 level to a 38.7 level this time. I don't really know what all of that means. I know it means I ovulated, but that's about it. I will be doing an at home test in the morning. WE will see. *****PINK DUST PLEASE*******

We are so hoping it works this time, but we are hopeful still.

I feel for two friends of ours that are trying for over a year now and no baby.


That is it for now.

I will write back tomorrow. HOPE HOPE HOPE

Ovulation Day

Well, today is the day AGAIN. I am always excited today and nervous at the same time. Just the hope of new life is so cool. WE get a progesterone test on the 23rd to see if I in fact did ovulate. I then will take my first at home test on the 26th that is ten days after I would have ovulated. I will also, if I don't start in 14 days I will test again like around 3rd of May. I should know soon. The waiting is a killer for me. I am just not good with it.

Hoping and wishing for pink dust to come my way.

Day 17 TTC

Well, this morning is day 17. We both thought today we would get a peak on the monitor but nothing. I have had three high days in a row now, that mean my estrogen is up but no LH surge yet. I am getting down. I don't think it is going to work again this month. Man what a wonderful anniversary present that would have been. Every one of my friends are getting pregnant as well. Leslie, Lisa, Jacklyn, Jenny. But I am trying really hard not to get down about this. We are looking at it a different way than before we had kids. We are very grateful for the two WONDERFUL boys we have and if I never have another one we are still very blessed. I am trying to think of Courtney that still after many years of TTC still nothing and our other friend that is trying so hard and still nothing. We are truly blessed with our little guys.

I put in a call to the Doc, I will hopefully get my progesterone levels tested to see where we stand. As soon as I know I will try to remember to post. I want to keep a account of everything this time. Hindsight 20/20. HEE HEE.

We are also debating getting my tubes tied. Its hard to think about this not being pregnant yet, but we are thinking about not having it done and not taking any birth control. We have went for 3 1/2 years now not taking anything and really trying for this will be the 4th cycle with no baby. I think if God wants to bless us with another child down the road then so be it.

Well, I will stop talking now.

Hopeful,
Tracie

Trying again

Well we are trying to make a baby again. We took Famaria 10mg days 3 through 9 this time. We are hoping this time works. So many of our friends are now getting pregnant with the third and it would just be a great time to announce our new addition along with our friends. We are hopeful that it will work this time.

We should see in about two weeks.

New time in our lives

Well, I have not been on here in a while lots have happened. We went on a trip with Daddy and Camping also.

Things that we are thinking or really acting apon is Lewis getting into Grad school. He will need to choice two classes this next couple of weeks and figure out what he is going to study this, he has decided to get a Masters of Education in Agricultural, Education, and Communications. We just looked at the classes last night and got really excited. He can go sever different ways, Leadership or Management, Distant learning, international trade and I think a couple more paths he could take. But what he is really going to get his masters for is to go back full time into the Military. He loves the military. So he is going to be an Officer in the Air Force in two years. The plan that we are trying to get together is perfect timing. Our new baby should be like 6 month old before he goes to camp (officer training school) next Summer. Then he should graduate in May of 2010 and the boys are to start school the Fall of 2010, however depending on how long his tech school is and everything the kids and I may stay here and I home school for Kindergarten to where we do not have to pull them out of school when daddy is ready for us. We have looked at the pay and in 4 years he should make Capt. and be making over 85,000 a year. We should be debt free about as soon as we go in. This is a big goal of ours. We want to be debt free and have a big savings for retirement and the kids college. We will reevaluate and see if after 4 years if this is still working for our family and determine if we will continue. We would love it the life is great in the military and be able to retire with a full pension at 50. But, I don't know what the future holds. I am so proud of Lewis for bettering himself for our family.

My plans, still are putting my family first. I am still wanting to be here with my kids. The love I am getting I just can not give this up for a job. Not right now. I plan to support Lewis with his schooling, because he will be so stressed. I plan to make is as easy on him for our future as I can. He is such a wonderful and loving husband to support me staying at home. This is the place we both feel God wants me to be and I am truly loving it. I toyed with the idea of going back to work, but for what, not happiness but for the money. Instead I am watching two one year old girls now and making about as much money as if I would be working. They are wonderful girls and sleep good to give me good time with the boys.

Other things, we are about to Celebrate our ten year anniversary and I am so happy. We are not planning anything special, maybe dinner and him take the day off to spend with me :) I still thank God every night for such a great husband. Ten years and still VERY happy is such a wonderful place to be. We will be going to Oragon in July kind of to celebrate. Its paid for by his work so I just have to buy a ticket and get a sitter. I can't wait. We are going to have a blast.

Oh and we are trying aging this month for baby #3. We are talking about having #4 next and then stopping. We want a big family, and with him providing for our family then we can have a big family.

That is about it for now. I will write more later.

Things to pray for us about.
His hands on our dictions for the future. Also, creating a new baby. (pink)
